If he can lead them to this secret address, there still might be a way to reverse his turning. Not much to go on, but it's something.
And now onto the secret writing that only zombies can read, or whatever it is. Either this story is about turn hard toward magical explanations for stuff...or perhaps it isn't so much that Datu can "read" the symbols, but maybe he can "smell" them. We've had speculation that Ink controls his hoards with some sort of pheromone signature, maybe that's what the "address" on the paper is.
